iPhone Jailbreak Modified Into CC Sniffing Malware

Posted by timothy on from the sniff-sniff-that's-very-sad dept.

    A lot of people who have Apple things think that they can go to whatever websites they want and download whatever the hell they want because they "can't get viruses". One of my friends on facebook got clickjacked and posted some .ru site, and a lot of people commented saying to not click on it because it is a virus, and then some guy said "lol i clicked on it anyway becuase i'm on a mac so i can't get a virus". -_- But, yeah, I think that we should all work together as a family to help people not get infected and we shouldn't hate people just because they use Apple products 3

    I don't trust the BBC. They got flying circuses and time-traveling phone booths over there...

    Adobe Photoshop could be modified to become a program that indoctrinates me in Marxist philosophy.

    I fooled them. I use GIMP which is put out by the very capitalistic ... Ah, I see how this works now.
